Re: pumpd failing to renew lease

[Daniel Ericsson <ericssson@lounging.com>]

Ok, I installed a tulip 10/100 eth i/f in the box. And now have 24h of 
pumpd working just fine... seems dhcp lease flakieness is connected to 
pumpd leasing for MACE and BMAC eth i/f. This is an interim solution for 
me so I'll try out dhcp-client on the BMAC i/f and will post an update.
